Dr Andrew Crawford Resigns From Stormont Role
An ex-special adviser to former First Minister Arlene Foster has resigned from his role at Stormont.
Dr Andrew Crawford announced his resignation after a public inquiry was instigated into the botched Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme, which is set to cost the public purse around £490million.
Dr Crawford stood down after he was named by a senior civil servant as the DUP adviser he believed was pushing to delay RHI cost controls when officials wanted to close it.
Mrs Foster said she accepted his resignation with "regret".
